Hi doctor, I am not sure I am over-stressing, but I have noticed when I drink cold icy water I can feel it go down to my stomach. I hurt my tummy muscle four weeks ago, and still not 100 percent cured. It still burns and I get acid reflux as well my throat is dry and sore. My breath is smelly and I get sinus problem and feel like phlegm is going back down to my throat. | 3,500 | Hello. As for the feeling of cold water going down your thirst and the acid reflux, both indicate an inflammatory condition esophagitis and gastritis. This can be treated with a proton pump inhibitor Controloc (Pantoprazole) once daily and an antacid Ranitidine before every meal. The bad breath could be due to inflamed gums or an infection such as H.pylori. So I recommend you get a test for H.pylori infection and consult a dentist to examine your gums. Bad breath can also be due to sinusitis. Sinusitis can also be the cause of the post nasal discharge (phelgm at the back of your throat) and can be treated with an anti-inflammatory Ibuprofen twice daily and an antihistaminic as Cetirizine or Zyrtec once daily before going to bed for 10 days. | Q. I have burning sensation in stomach with acid reflux and bad breathe. Please help. |
Hello doctor, Yesterday my wife on her annual checkup got an abnormal ECG. The report says: Normal Sinus Rhythm, Incomplete right bundle branch block, inferior infarct, age undetermined. She is 55, a little overweight, otherwise healthy. We are very worried. | 3,501 | Hello. I understand how worried you are about your wife's health, do not worry she will be fine soon. The ECG shows evidence that points to the fact that your wife has a injury to the right part of her heart. This can cause a disruption of electrical impulse traveling to that area which show cased as (right bundle branch block). I advise you see a cardiologist. She needs to do further investigations like Echo to ascertain how well her heart is working and to know the extent of damage. I wish her a speedy recovery. Best regards. | Q. There is incomplete right bundle branch block with inferior infarct in ECG. Why? |
Hello doctor, Male, 55, 170 cm, 60 kg, non-smoker, non-alcoholic ,vegetarian. Day before yesterday nose and ear bleeding was there in the early morning. Done blood test and found platelets count 24000 only. The doctor suggested to take rest for 4 days. | 3,502 | Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Following is my opinion for your case. Your platelet count is low and suggestive of severe thrombocytopenia (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The bleeding could be due to that. The reactive large platelet also seen in smear. So platelet destruction might occurred in your body. Dengue and viral infection are common cause for that. Your platelet count need to be monitored at 48 hour interval. Drink lots of water. If platelet count still go down and bleeding does not stop than platelet transfusion might given. You can rule out dengue by Elisa or Rapid card test. | Q. How can low platelet levels be improved? |
Hello doctor, I need help for my 19-year-old son. He has tried SSRI's which did not work (Then we had the Gene testing done and it showed that he should not be on the one that he was on) and seemed to make him worse. He is now on an SNRI, the same one that his mother is on and that is not working as it should either. We have tried the Ketamine treatments and they seem to help short term (a couple of days). We stop those treatments when he was hospitalized at the end of last year. He was required to be hospitalized to be observed for ECT treatments which were started. We saw a great improvement with the ECT and after about 7 treatments, he was backed off to once a week which seemed to work okay, with only one bad day. Then he was moved to every two weeks and it got bad again. We got him in a few days before the two weeks were up and he still had some very bad days. He is a psychiatrist but my son is not honest with him because he fears being locked up again. I guess my question is this. What medication in the SNRI class have you found to work the best for major depression? (I know he has been labeled treatment-resistant but the anxiety medication he takes seems to work). Is there another class of medication that you would suggest we try? | 3,503 | Hello. Firstly sir, it is just a brief labelling to broadly differentiate classes, but many people who do not respond to one SSRI/SNRI, will do well with another drug of the same class, so cross switching between classes is also done. Among the SNRI, my personal experience as well as the literature, supports the use of Venlafaxine as superior compared to others. Lets assume that we are going to use Venlafaxine as a primary drug. In non responders or resistant, usually augmenting agents are given. I do not know what agents have been tried for your son so far. But normally, SNRI with mood stabilizer like Sodium valproate or Lithium, or SNRI+low dose second generation antipsychotic, or SNRI plus combinations of mood stabilizer and low dose antipsychotics can be used. Apart from this other classes of drugs can also help such as Mirtazepine, Bupropion, and as and when needed temporary use of low dose Benzodiazipines and Propranolol can also be added. The goal here will be remission of symptoms or atleast reduction to an acceptable level. In patients with resistance, usually 2 or 3 drug combinations will be needed. Also many psychiatrists do not reach the maximal dosage recommended of most drugs and that also needs to be tried out. Apart from this, you should consider getting 6 to 8 sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy from a clinical psychologist. It will also help and add to the effect of medicines. | Q. Kindly explain about the best medication for major depression from SNRI group? |
Hello doctor, I would like to know, what is your role in working with children with hearing loss, or more specifically, what are the duties that involve the children with hearing loss? When you work with children who have hearing loss, what are the two or three consequences or effects of the hearing loss that you think have the biggest impact on the child’s life? Do you think that children with hearing loss are being adequately served in the area where you work? What kinds of things would you like to see happen differently for children with hearing loss where you work? If you are familiar with the speech and language services that children with hearing loss receive in your school or community, do you think that these services are meeting the needs of the students? What do you think about this? If you are aware of the hearing-related services that children with hearing loss are receiving in the schools or community where you are, do you think that these services are meeting the needs of the students? What do you think about this? Do you have anything that you would like to see done differently by people who work with kids with hearing loss? (e.g. programs, funding, devices, etc.). | 3,504 | Hi. The primary role in working with children with hearing loss is an early diagnosis of the disease and etiology. Once the diagnosis is made, our duty is to treat the reversible cause of hearing loss (this is more common than irreversible or genetic causes). Our goal is, prevent the probable, diagnose the inaudible, treat the curable, rehabilitate the disabled. Hearing is one of the most important sense organ, mutually connected with vision, for speech and language development which is a must for communication. Most important consequences of hearing loss are speech and language development, and overall psycho-social development (this is dependent on communication). Children with hearing loss have special importance, as they have to be diagnosed early to prevent the delay in speech and language development. The best means to achieve this can only be Universal neonatal hearing screening. This scheme is not followed in our place due to various reasons like a) social factors requiring community and individual participation, b) economic resources, c) Government policy support. I would like to have a universal hearing screening program, because, only if we can diagnose early, we can do something. So the first step is early and all the cases to be diagnosed. Hearing and Speech and language services for hearing impaired are meeting the needs of students who are receiving treatment facilities at tier1 and few tier2 cities. But at the rest of the places, these services are not adequate. The reason is again a) lack of awareness of available facilities, b) constant changing of technology and products, c) low literacy also prevents parents from utilizing these resources d) lack of funding and support from dedicated organizations, e) human resource and f) society participation. Few important needs are: a) Universal neonatal hearing screening. b) Social awareness of the impact of hearing loss and treatable diseases. c) Funding for hearing impaired children, with the provision of financial support for special schools. d) Need of low cost and effective rehabilitation devices that should have stable technology, easy to boot, does not have much maintenance cost. e) Increase in more and more audiologists are needed, especially to serve the needs. I hope this helps. | Q. What is the major consequence that a child will face with hearing loss? |
Hello doctor, I am 38 weeks pregnant (38 weeks and 2 days). I took an ultrasound today. My report shows: Biparietal diameter 8.93 cm (36w 1d) Head circumference 32.17 cm (36w 2d) Abdominal circumference 31.65 cm (35w 4d) Femoral length 6.98 cm (35w 6d) Average age of gestation based on today's scan: 36 weeks Estimated fetal weight: 2765 grams. I just want to ask if I need to be worried, as my doctor said the baby is small. Is there any problem for the baby because I am on 38 weeks 2 days now, but base on my ultrasound the baby is 36 weeks. | 3,505 | Hello. The growth of the child is two weeks smaller for 38 weeks but corresponding to its ultrasound age, the weight of the baby is fine. There is a likelihood that you may have had an irregularity in your menses earlier and your ovulation may have been delayed and leading to late conception. However, best would be to undertake a biophysical profile and an umbilical artery doppler, MCA Doppler studies (middle cerebral artery) to look for cause for decreased supply to the fetus (if at all). If these parameters are normal, then your dates are probably wrong or you have had delayed ovulation and fertilization because fetus would then be considered growing and pregnancy can be continued and followed up with serial ultrasounds. But nevertheless, even if dates are not good, still it is advisable that one should go with your dates as at 38 weeks and deliver the child by 41 weeks, considering the child has matured and the average fetal weight is also good. I hope this helps. | Q. I am 38 weeks pregnant but ultrasound suggests growth of 36 weeks. Will it affect the baby? |
Hi doctor, My son is 10 years old. He had cough and low-grade fever. Five days later, I showed him to a pediatrician. She advised Augmentin 625 mg, Mucolite and Duolin nebulizer. The next day my son has symptoms of reaction with Augmentin like diarrhea. So my doctor switched to Azee 250 mg. After 10 days, my son still has a little wet cough that only interferes a little at night with no fever. His chest is clear but the doctor has advised Zocef 250 again and she says though the chest is clear, productive cough is there. Please advise me what should I do? Should I give him antibiotics again? | 3,506 | Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your 10-year-old son had a cough and fever which required Augmentin and nebulization, this means that the child has got wheezing with lower respiratory tract infection. Augmentin contains Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid which may cause diarrhea in some children so rightly the antibiotic needs to be changed. You have been given Azee which contains Azithromycin antibiotic, which has made the system better. Now, there is a mild cough but it is wet or productive. A productive cough may persist for some time as the infection which was earlier there in the chest of your child has formed mucus or phlegm which needs to come out from the body. This productive cough will persist for some time even if you take an antibiotic. In my opinion, there is no need for any antibiotic now and you should only give cough syrup. This productive cough will subside in one week. Just protect the child from cold temperature. Avoid cold drinks and ice cream. I hope this helps. | Q. Is it advisable to give antibiotic course twice in a month for a 10-year-old boy? |
Hello doctor, I have a stage 1 to 2 bladder prolapse. I would like to get the surgery but I am suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. I am terrified about getting the surgery. In my mind, it got fixed that if I go there I will die from that surgery. It is said that it will be done through the vagina and she will fix it to the solid part of the pelvis. No mesh will be used and it will be by spinal and not general anesthesia. I am someone who does not tolerate the medication. I always have bad reactions even if it is Demerol, Morphine or Codeine. It does to me the opposite effet that it is supposed to do. Could you tell me more about the surgery? What are the risks? Will I die from getting the surgery? I do not even have a date for it and I think about it all the time. I am terrified. I do not want to die. Can it be done by local anesthetics only? | 3,507 | Hi. I have gone through your question and understand the concerns. Vaginal surgery for the bladder repair is safe and there are no major risks associated with it. Complications like bladder injury can occur, which is not at all life-threatening and can be surgically managed. Spinal anesthesia is safer than general anesthesia, and all the vaginal surgeries are done in it. It cannot be done in local anesthesia. You should consult a psychiatrist and get properly treated for panic attacks and anxiety, before going for surgery. Bladder prolapse cannot be treated medically, and surgery is the only option. I hope this helps. | Q. Can bladder prolapse surgery be done under local anesthesia? |
Hi doctor, I am 24 years old and I have had PCOS and was on homeopathy for five years. Sonography reports came normal. Now I want to know that if there are any chances of it coming back as sometimes I do feel pain in the left ovary. Also, my grandmother has breast cancer and at times I cough and sneezes a lot. Are there any chances of me getting the same? | 3,508 | Hi. I understand your concerns, but you should not worry as there is no reported association between PCOS and breast cancer. Also, you should know that PCOS cannot be cured completely, medications and homeopathy can control only the symptoms and increase the chance of fertility if required. Advice: Take oral contraceptive pills (Gynera once daily for 21 days then 7 days off repeat every month), Metformin 500 mg twice after lunch, Spironolactone 50 mg once before sleeping as anti-androgenic. Please send me a copy of your sonography report as well as any performed lab tests e.g. fasting blood sugar, postprandial glucose level, etc. Send me a photo of the acne or facial hair if still there. Follow up after two weeks. Note: If you desire to be pregnant, seek advice some of these medications must be changed. | Q. Can PCOS cause breast cancer? |
Hello doctor, I am not on any medicicnes but yes I have tried before. I am very active, successful and driven. My world is just a dark place and I really do not know why. There is no reason for it to be, but it just is. It has gotten worse over the years and now I cannot deal with the anxiety, I cannot deal with the lows and I contemplate leaving away for good so many times. | 3,509 | Hi. I am sorry to hear about this, I can understand how hard it is for you right now. Personal beliefs and thoughts are formed through our experiences, social background, parenting and family structure., during our childhood. As you have mentioned, that you have always felt this way, this means there are subconscious thought patterns, called cognitive distortions in technical terms which are faulty and dysfuctional and are clouding your thinking. I would suggest you to start Psychotherapy. There are various techniques through which these fixed beliefs can be brought to conscious understanding and then changed and learn to cope up with. Then work is done to find out where and when in your past experiences you picked up these beliefs and you can remove your emotional blocks away and get past these. Sometimes high functioning depression or anxiety presents like this. Please do not delay, this can be resolved and there is hope. Take care of yourself. | Q. Kindly advise me how to manage anxiety. |

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | 3,513 | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? |
Hi doctor, During masturbation I just rub the tip of the penis and not the entire penis. Is it a wrong way of doing? I do not get excited during sex and unable to ejaculate. Only, rubbing the tip of the penis gives me excitement. Also, two weeks ago, I have undergone circumcision as my foreskin did not retract. Before circumcision too, I have the same problem. Please help. | 3,514 | Hi. For further doubts consult a sexologist online -->https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/sexologist | Q. I masturbate only by rubbing the tip of the penis.

Hello doctor, My father 70 years old, is just recovering from a septic shock and amputation. He has had is leg amputated below the knee. He had an infected wound on his foot and fell into a septic shock. 1. He has kidney failure and needs dialysis. His blood pressure dips too low during dialysis and it had to be aborted. Is there anything that can be done for him to keep his blood pressure up during dialysis? 2. His amputation wound is not healing. Can anything be done to promote wound healing? Could another amputation above the knee help the wound to heal? | 3,516 | Hello. There are number of ways to try to avoid fall in blood pressure. 1. Do not take blood pressure medicines prior to dialysis. 2. Avoid eating during dialysis. 3. May be tell doctor to reduce his fluid removal on HD. 4. Reducing the dialysate temperature by 0.5 celcius. 5 . Or still issue persists can take tablet Gutron (Midodrine) 2.5 mg tablet prior to dialysis and dose can be increased to 7.5 mg. Regarding wound healing, elderly take some time for wound to heal, we can wait sometime and ensure adequate nutrition, normal Hb and still problem persist, can consult surgeon about further plan. | Q. What are the ways to maintain blood pressure during dialysis? |
Hello doctor, Echo report shows: Physiologic pericardial effusion Eustachian valve remnant at right atrium Rvsp=30mmhg Inferior vena cava not dilated Mild mitral, tricuspid valve regurgitation. Does this report show a normal result? | 3,517 | Hi. I have worked through your query and understand your health issues. I assure you not worry as you have consulted the appropriate expert physician who will take care of all of your medical concerns. I will simplify the things for your understanding and will go through whole of the echocardiography report attached. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is no tumor seen inside heart chambers. No blood clots seen means your heart is pumping in such a normal way that there is no turbulence of blood and heart valves are not causing any thrombi formation. All the chambers of heart are seen normal inside. Pumping of blood to the lungs and to rest of the body by right and left ventricles respectively is all normal. Relaxation of heart chambers during beats is also normal. No abnormal connections between the heart chambers. Very mild mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation of blood, and that is insignificant and considered normal. Nothing to worry right now but keep a follow up with a cardiologist in the future too. Right ventricular systolic pressure of 30 mmHg is a little in the higher figures (15-25 mmHg being normal range usually). They have suggested an eustachian valve remnant at right atrium. Eustachian valve is a fetal structure, and we usually see just a flap of the valve after the birth of the baby. After birth, it has no function and it is seen usually and normally on echocardiography. So it is normal for you too. Problem was if there was a giant eustachian valve that may have been dividing the right atrium into two chambers inferiorly due to rigid overgrowth of the eustachian valve. Another abnormality (you do not have) related here is cor triatriatum dexter and needs cardiac surgery to correct it. You are safe. Final Impression:- Normal Echocardiography report. I hope this helps. | Q. What does mild mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation mean? |
Hello doctor, I was wondering if I have a reaction to cardboard and/or the chemicals in them. About eight months ago, I started working in a warehouse working with cardboard boxes, after about a week my fingers started to tingle and bother me. Best way to describe it if you fall asleep on your hand the only thing that would help was to ice them. After I stopped working there within a week or two everything was back to normal. I recently started working with boxes again and the same exact thing is happening to my fingers. So is there something in the cardboard that I have a reaction to? I wear work gloves. OTC pain pills did not help, bio freeze help a little. Is there anything I need to do for this to go away? | 3,518 | Hi. Well, the sort of complaints you are saying looks more of a nerve compression than an allergic reaction. Allergies are common at workplace where you deal with new stuffs. But in allergy, you get more of skin eruptions and peeling (contact dermatitis). Since you have more symptoms of tingling and numbness, it fits in more with nerve compression. Probably due to fine motor movements you have to do, which compresses the nerve. Something like carpal tunnel syndrome. To confirm this, we need to do NCV (nerve conduction velocity) studies. Meanwhile, I would suggest you wear a wrist band while working to prevent the nerve from getting pressed. You can read up on the internet about it and let me know if your symptoms match this. | Q. Will chemical in cardboard cause tingling and numbness in fingers? |
Hello doctor, I am undergoing major spinal deformity surgery next month, anterior and posterior. I am 50 years old and this is my fourth scoliosis surgery. In recent years, I have developed a sensitivity to Morphine and I cannot take Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) because it gives me terrible headaches. What other options are available to put into my spinal catheter for post-operative pain control in the hospital? I know that Fentanyl is short-acting and they do not use Demerol any more in my place. What can be done for me? Also, I am currently on 50 mg Oxycodone per day and Zohydro 80 mg for pain so my tolerance for opiates has gone way up. | 3,519 | Hi. From your brief history, I can sense that you have already become tolerant to opioids. Once tolerance develops to one group of opioids, simultaneously other opioids also develop the same way. I would suggest the addition of Clonidine, Dexmedetomidine through your spinal catheter since opioid-tolerant patients do have good postoperative pain relief with this drug. Multimodal analgesia with intravenous Ketorolac, Buprenorphine through the spinal route can be another option. But I do not know whether your anesthesiologist is comfortable with these drugs. Kindly have a discussion with your physician. | Q. What drug can be administered through spinal catheter to control post-operative pain in spinal surgery? |
Hello doctor, I am 56 years old, diabetic with high blood pressure. In the last four years, when I am sleeping I have multiples erections, dreams and not a calm night of sleep. My wife always complains and we argue because during day time I have no desires and it is very hard to have an erection and this makes more friction between us. Sometimes we take a month to have intercourse. We have been together for almost 22 years. The problem of erection during sleep time started with fewer times and now it is getting worse sometimes six times during a night. I really need some help to have a calm night. What do you suggest? I am currently taking medications for diabetes and high blood pressure along with Insulin and Baby Aspirin. | 3,520 | Hi. Firstly, you will need good control of your sugar levels. It will help with the erection problem and sleep. Start a good exercise regimen and lose some weight. Also search on the internet for Kegel's exercises and do them daily. It will help strengthen the muscles at the base of the penis and help with good erections. Also, start a good multivitamin with a lot of B-complex group of vitamins. Finally, for a few times, you can try taking Sildenafil or Tadalafil to help with getting erections. For sleeping, you should try taking something harmless initially like Melatonin supplements, or you can try to take something which will give you sleep and also help with your stress such as Mirtazapine 7.5 or Vilazodone 20 mg which do not have any sexual side effects. | Q. Why do I get multiple erections during sleep? |
Hello doctor, I have a burning sensation in the penis for the last 20 days. For the first seven days, I took Terbinafine tablet and Candid cream. The next seven days I took Oflomac 400, Afdura, and Urispas. But the burning sensation is still there. I also have a little bit of swelling in the glans penis for the past 17 days. Ultrasound report shows: Mild urinary bladder wall thickness with insignificant PVRU. Urine culture - No aerobic pyogenic grown. Urine R/E - Pus cells - 0-1, WBC/hpf, Epithelial - 0-1 Epi Cells/hpf. RBC - 4.36 MCH - 33.6 Monocytes - 10.4 Basophils - 0.00MPV - 12.5 Sugar / Creatinine - normal. | 3,521 | Hi. I have gone through your queries. You may have complicated UTI (urinary tract infection). You have to undergo another test. Send VB3 (voided bladder 3) urine or EPS for culture and sensitivity. EPS means expressed prostatic secretion. Voided bladder sample 3 means urine after prostatic massage. For all these purposes you need to visit the office of a urologist. Please do that as soon as possible and get all these tests done and get further treatment. You need clinical examination too for further treatment. | Q. I have burning sensation in penis with swelling in glans penis. Please suggest solution. |
Hello doctor, My son is 2.9 years old and has a problem in the upper four teeth (x-ray attached) and doctors are suggesting for RCT (root canal treatment) as they are very much decayed. So I just wanted to confirm the same. | 3,522 | Hello. I have seen the x-ray. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If the child is cooperative and can sit through the procedure then it is fine to have pulpectomy procedure i.e. root canal treated. If your child does not have any pain or swelling and the tooth does not appear to have some large hole or pink fleshy growth inside which can be seen, then it is fine to let it remain like now and use fluoride toothpaste for kids to prevent further decay. It is difficult to have a cooperative child at this age so do not put too much stress on the kid if he is very afraid. If you see swelling or if there is pain then go by your pediatric dentists advice and do a root canal. | Q. Is it safe to undergo root canal treatment in a 2. 9-year-old baby? |
Hello doctor, I understand that a high vacuolated neutrophil result can be indicative of impending sepsis. Is it possible for someone to have this result and an infection that does not make the patient's symptoms visibly worse for a week? If so, could you give some examples of such infections? The patient is not on antibiotics. Can a high vacuolated neutrophil result indicate some sort of problem other than an infection? | 3,523 | Hi. I appreciate your knowledge. You are right, vacuolated neutrophils suggest towards infective etiology more likely. But let me know you in such a case usually neutrophilia is also seen. So vacuolated neutrophils interpretation should be done in accordance with total WBC (white blood corpuscles) and total neutrophils count. Your clinical correlation and physical examination are also necessary. Vacuolations in neutrophils suggest phagocytic function of it in infection e.g. pneumonia, fungal infection, septicemia, typhoid, etc. Sometime in inflammation also such cells are seen. As you have rapid weight loss cause for that should be searched. Some of the causes are HIV, acute infection, COPD, gastrointestinal problems like celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, tuberculosis, etc. So the clinical correlation is necessary to do further work up.

Hello doctor, I am a 31-year-old male. I am married for the last six years. Before getting married, there was an incident where I had a sexual encounter with a girl. However, during this, I had erectile dysfunction. So after about one year, I got married to my long term friend. In the initial three to four months I had issues of not being able to maintain an erection. However, over time we adjusted to a pattern and we got over it after about six months. We have been having frequent sex over the last four to five years. However, throughout this time, maintaining the erection for more than say 10 mins has always been impossible. Recently, I had a sexual encounter with another girl but had a lot of problems in getting the erection and maintaining it. I have a well-built physique and do regular exercise and play games. My weight is 89 kg and height is around 5' 10". I am a heavy nonvegetarian and eat lots of fish, chicken, and beef. After the above incident, I have started doing a bit of diet control along with my regular exercise. I also have an inguinal hernia over the last few years and I am planning to get it operated soon. I have been thinking of buying Tentex royal but wanted to take advice from you before going ahead with any medication. | 3,524 | Hello. From your query, I could infer that you had difficulty in getting and maintaining an erection with the new girl only. You were able to have frequent and normal sex with your wife before the encounter with the above said girl. It means that the cause for erectile dysfunction at the incident was due to performance anxiety which is purely situational and psychological. Hence nothing to worry much about physical causes and be relaxed and enjoy your sexual life with your wife and masturbation (once in a while). I will not recommend any such enhancers like Tentex royal, as it makes you feel that you lost your vigor and you have regain which is not real. What you lost is your confidence which you need to regain. Exercise, yoga, etc., can make you fit which in turn improves your sexual life. If you are so much worried about physical causes, then you need to do 1. Routine blood and urine test. 2. Serum testosterone (fasting state). 3. FBS (fasting blood sugar) and PPBS (post prandial blood sugar). 4. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). 5. Prolactin. These are basic tests for male dysfunction. Do mention about the frequency of masturbation, erection status during masturbation, early morning erections, etc. | Q. I am having occasional erection problem which lasts less than 10 minutes.

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged.

Hi doctor, Just now I got my cardiac CT report. I seek opinion of my radiology report before I see my cardiologist in a couple of weeks. Conclusion is that the stress test and echocardiogram results were fine. The CT cardiac report is as follows: Moderate coronary calcification detected with CAC score of 134 which is more than 90th for his age and gender. There is evidence of vessel remodeling with ectasia in all three coronaries without obvious atherosclerotic change in the affected segments. There is a mild to moderate diffuse non-obstructive disease in the LAD and RCA. There is relative non-atherosclerotic luminal narrowing in the distal LAD compared with the ecstatic segment. I can provide the detailed report. Is it something that can be controlled with lifestyle change or medications? I am on cholesterol medication and my cholesterol is under control. I am also pre-diabetic, which is borderline. | 3,538 | Hi. We are here to help you. Your report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) is suggestive of coronary artery disease.

Hi doctor, My wife is suffering from Bartholin's cyst. The problem is on the left side of her vagina for the last one month. She does not experience any pain in the cyst currently. The cyst is lengthy in shape and not circle. We got married last month. But, before intercourse only she found that she had a cyst and since then we have not involved in sex. Her age is 22 years and weight is 48 kg. She has taken medicines for about two weeks but it does not help the cyst to sit completely.

Hello doctor, I am a 33 year old male. Two years back I had severe running nose and could not breathe through nose, especially during the night. Then, I was diagnosed with antrochoanal polyp in my right nose. After taking medications I no longer felt cold and running nose. However, my right nostril always remains blocked. So, I decided not to go for FESS and manage with blocked right nose. However, for the past three months, I started feeling right ear blockage and sometimes feel liquid movement in my right ear when I move my head. Over last 15 days I feel ringing in my right ear, so I got shocked and got my right nose FESS surgery done. However, even after seven days of surgery I am not relieved of tinnitus although I can breathe now normally from both nostrils. I can feel reduction in volume and my pure tone audiometry is normal.

The FESS surgery (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) you had was for nasal blockage and its consequences of auditory tube blockage and middle ear fluid retention. Now after surgery, your nose is opened, auditory tube and middle ear fluid must have settled down (or will settle down) and just a week after surgery you should not start calculating improvement. Coming to tinnitus, there are various causes. You need to be evaluated for it. Discuss with ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeon on your next visit.
